As with the diesel Outlander, there will be a commercial vehicle version of the PHEV, due to be revealed this week.
Although details were scarce as BusinessCar went to press, it is rumoured to be priced at under £30,000 after the £5000 Government ultra low-emissions grant, with first deliveries of the vehicle early next month.
Converted from the passenger variant in the UK, the rear seats are removed and the rear windows covered over to create a load area. Equipment is likely to match the entry GX3h trim of the passenger car.
"It will open up another new market for us, [and is] a very comfortable and efficient commercial vehicle. People who operate in urban areas could have a CV that never uses any petrol - that would be amazing," said UK boss Lance Bradley.
The regular diesel Outlander 4Work won the 4x4 Van of the Year prize in the 2014 What Van? Awards handed out by BusinessCar's sister publication.
